    Bats mate. You are a class act. What a laugh. What a trip. I'm so envious. Gazza as the pope, hilarious! And you as the new poster boy for mountain safety? I don't think I'm ever getting over that. Our fire brigade do something similar, they've got an 1198 and a Brutale to play with.

    Thanks Bats, thanks Gary. You've cheered me up good and proper. Well done.

    It was Alblades post about bikes with police this morning, I thought I'd have another look.
    You know, what a cracking trip.

    It would be good to set those photos to a soundtrack with a few titles to bring it together, grab some screen shots from google / bing maps of where stuff is / maps etc.
    Wonder who is anygood at that....?

    I was going to have a go with movie maker on computer. It's turning into one of those roundtoits at present.
    Never say never though ;)

    There is a great app (Mircorsoft photo story 3) from windows, free to download to produce simple slide show to music, with titles if needed, it adds all the soft zoom / cross fade stuff for you.

    Download: Photo Story 3 for Windows - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details

    Create slideshows using your digital photos. With a single click, you can touch-up, crop, or rotate pictures. Add stunning special effects, soundtracks, and your own voice narration to your photo stories. Then, personalize them with titles and captions. Small file sizes make it easy to send your photo stories in an e-mail. Watch them on your TV, a computer, or a Windows Mobile–based portable device.

    (that's the xp version which also works with Win 7)

    Best to get everyones photos from the trip (unless you like downloading them all one at time from here) and put in a single folder - start with a simple project with a few images to get the hang of it before you do the big trip one.
